Introducing SocialCheck.me

Hey, all you hiring managers, recruiters, and HR folks! Having difficulty choosing the right candidate? I know you are! :)

SocialCheck.me is a web-based tool that can help. It utilizes an employee candidate's social network to allow you to do anonymous and mass-customized surveys for reference checks. We all know there are still difficult problems in the hiring space, and the hiring process results in a lot of false positive hires due to asymmetric information. What we're trying to do is make the information field more level by giving you a survey mechanism that is private, anonymous, and customizable. Data is validated to be submitted by people who actually know the candidate; validation happens through the social network. Currently, we're integrated with LinkedIn, with other social networks to follow soon.

These 3 words describe what makes SocialCheck.me so good.

Anonymous

- Both the employer and the candidate cannot see who responds to the survey to protect the relationship of the candidate with his/her colleagues.

- The candidate cannot even see the contents of the survey, nor the survey results, to ensure survey integrity.

- The results data has no identifying data.

Result: The anonymity allows colleagues of the candidate to speak freely to give a whole picture about the candidate, without fear of consequences.

Result: The relationship between the candidate and his/her colleagues is protected. Ugly, public character assassinations are avoided. And your surveys and survey data can be considered a safe competitive advantage in the hiring world.

Customizable

- Each job is different and will require different knowledge, skills, and personalities. We allow employers and recruiters to customize the surveys according to the job and organizational needs.

- Custom surveys can be saved as templates for your future use for future open positions.

- The resulting survey data can be sliced and diced according to the type of relationship the survey responders had with the candidate, and other criteria.

Result: You get a tool that will work for you because you will determine the nature of the surveys. But to get you started easily, we'll provide you some templates too!
